A trend analysis computing device is provided. The computing device includes a receiver to receive online data, a trend determiner to determine a trend that is presently happening based on a word or a phrase included in the received online data, a processor to compare the determined trend with a dictionary database of the user to determine if the trend is of interest to the user, and, in response to determining the trend is a trend of interest, add additional data to the trend of interest based on the dictionary database, an analyzer configured to analyze the trend of interest, the added additional data, and user interest data, and generate impact data that the trend of interest is having on the user interest data, and a transmitter to transmit the impact data to the user.

Systems and methods for mapping online data to data of interest

A computer-implemented method for providing a reward based on a price differential for a product is described. The method is implemented using a computing device in communication with one or more memory devices. The method includes receiving, by the computing device, a reward determination request message including an identification of a first merchant and product data for a product purchased by a cardholder from the first merchant. The method also includes determining a location of the first merchant, determining, using the one or more memory devices, the price differential between a first price for the product from the first merchant and at least a second price for the product from at least a second merchant within a predetermined geographic distance of the first merchant, and applying a reward to a cardholder account associated with the cardholder, wherein the reward is based on the price differential.
